Your Life, in the Right Home

Oakland Florida is a small town in Orange County Florida between Winter Garden and Clermont just south of Lake Apopka. This small community is home to about 2500 residents but has seen tremendous growth over the last 10 years.

This diverse and thriving community has a rich history of railroads and agriculture and was once the shipping point on Lake Apopka for vegetables and oranges. Today, nearly 130 acres of wetlands and opulence are secured and currently being restored and preserved by the city. The development is operated by the Oakland Nature Preserve Inc. and is free to the public for walks and self-guided tours.
